Merry Christmas. We wish you were here. We love you!!!

WOW

Tomorrow is Christmas eve. For some odd reason it doesn't feel like Christmas. I see the presents under the tree and the decorations and everyone scrambling around and I'm on vacation but it still just doesn't feel like Christmas. I seriously don't even know why. As I prepare for Christmas like wrapping presents and baking, I think 'what am I doing this for?' I really don't know whats wrong with me. It doesn't feel like I feel this way because Joe and Duane wont be with us for Christmas this year. I mean I will miss Joe the same as I do every other day but I seriously don't think that's why I feel this way. Maybe I'm just getting older and Christmas doesn't excite me as much as it used too. This year I'm not worried about getting up at 6 to unwrap presents, I could care less if I sleep in. Oh well...

Caramels

I woke up early today because mom invited some of her friends over to help wrap the camamels she made last night. I made cookies, they were good I guess.

Last night when mom was making the caramels I wanted to lick the spoon. She said that I should wait to eat the caramel after it cooled down because candy doesnt cool down for a while because candy crystalizes. So I touched one part of it and it was cooled off. So I went to go touch a big glob of caramel and I burnt myself real bad. So bad that not even puting ice or taking pain reliever or neosporin on it help. This morning I woke up and had a BIG BIG BIG blister on it. I have no feeling on the top of my index finger.

So while my mother was cutting the caramels Judy, Stacy, and I wrapped them. Did you know one batch of caramels is 5 pounds. Mom made 15 pounds worth of caramels.

After that we all made candel holders out of baby food jars. It was pretty fun. We listened to Kid rock while making them. I personally would have liked to listen to christmas music but my mom has nothing of the sort.

SCOTT & WEATHER

Well the weather pretty much makes me mad. I cant go see scott this weekend. The only day its going to be decent out is satuday and he has to work saturday. Like I said before its so hard to not see him on the weekends. I hate living 25 minutes away from him.

Speaking of that. Mom the other night pretty much told me that I should find someone else because 2 years is way to long for a teenager to be dating one person. I dont want to date anyone else. Grammie and Beepa have been together since she was 13. So why cant I be with scott? I dont see any problem with being with scott for this long. I know some of you think Im settling but Im really not. Ive been in two different schools since ive been with scott and if I liked someone else like I love scott I wouldve dropped scott probably a while ago. It upsets me when people tell me things like I should be with someone else. Im just living life day by day.

doin what i like to do best =]

Tonight I have a Choir concert. Its obviously christmas themed. We are singing in this order, Home for the holidays, a manger carol, rocking around the christmas tree, and merry christmas to all ( the medlie) A medlie is a mixture of songs of the same genre.

Anyway I gots to go finish getting ready WISH ME LUCK!

The past few days

Thursday my best friend Beccah came over because she didn't have to work. So we walked to my house and then made some gingerbread crafts. She made a gingerbread christmas tree and I made a gingerbread house. She stayed until about 6 until her uncle came to get her after he got out of work. This is the first time I think Ive really talked about Beccah so Ill give you some background information. We met from our friend darren over the summer and didnt really become friends until the beginning of this year and then became best friends pretty much right off after we started talking a lot. Shes a lot of fun and I think you'll be seeing her a lot over summer at camp.

So then of course I went to scotts house and Scott and I made gingerbread christmas tree's too. Today we went to go look at the ping pong table he wants to get for his family this christmas and he can actually afford it cause he finally got a temporary job.

Im still not too sure what I want for christmas though....

Steph was right...I was studying a lot. I wasnt grounded. Im the cutest most innocent little girl ever. I dont do anything wrong.

Do you remember how I told you about the PSAT I took. Well I got an average score. Just average, not above average, or below average. Just average. Which my guidence councilor said was great for a PSAT. Im not satisfied though.

OMG. My grades are still really good. I cant believe how well I am doing! I have edline which is a website you can look at to see current grades as long as the teacher has posted and still if we were to get report cards now Id be on honor roll. However, I have a low B in my science class and i will be switching the science class anyway because all my teacher does now is talk. nothing but talk. I want a more hands on way to learn. The only way to learn is to be taught how you learn best. Mrs. Gilbert is a more hands on teacher and i will be switching into her class next semester.
Also because of our new principle we are getting a new schedule. It will be block scheduling. That means there are only 4 classes a day and each semester its 1 credit so I can get up to 8 credits as appose to now where i can only be getting 7. Also instead of midterms after the first semester we get final exams because second semester we get 4 new classes. And the biggest advantage is not having so many books in my bag. The biggest disadvantage is that the credits are being raised to graduate and you have to get a 70 to pass where as now its only 60.

OMG ( agian) Scott got me a nail kit for my birthday because he knows i like that kind of stuff. YOu see this wasnt just any old nail kit it was an nail kit that you see in nail salons. I could do my own acrylic nail like in a nail salon. Turns out Im a natural because I need my own nails and they look prefessionally done. Makes me even more confused about what i want to do when i grow up. I really love doing make up, hair, and nails. But i also really love taking pictures. Ha pat, scotts brother lets me do his make up and nails all the time. Scott and patrick let me cut there hair. But pat hasnt let me in a long time cuz he wants to grow it out ( yuck). If mom let me do her nails i would do them but shes not as girly as I am.
